Anyone else thinking this could be a use case for OpenSim? A Tuvalu Grid?

Tuvalu is 9 islands with 10 square kilometres altogether. In raw land mass, that'd be 10 4x4 varsims which is almost laughable. Even if you remap this to Tuvalu's actual topography, that'd be not only still considerably smaller than Wolf Territories, but mostly sailable water.

In fact, this begs for SFsail. Also, lots of tropical beaches = potential surf spots. Nothing that hasn't been done before.

Not to mention that OpenSim has vastly better graphics than everything else that labels itself "metaverse" nowadays.

I guess most other in-world assets such as buildings would be scratch-made, although creators like Bibiana Bombinante could provide some decoration.

Meet up and have a Sail in the Nautilus Community. Our naked sailors group will meet up and have a Sail from the Nautilus welcome area and sail to the Treasure Trail Dude Ranch for some exploring and a Dance at the Desperadoes Dance Hall. Come get naked or dress as you wish :)
Today November 20th

Looking into maybe doing another rebuild of Rayvn's Roost Concourse. What as a community would like to see done to improve the region. It's a 2x2 so I have a lot of space to work with. What would you like to see stay and what should be changed. This region hosts a lot of content just from the Hypergrid that I have collected over the years. I have moved pretty well anything I have made or uploaded to RRD Fashion Exclusives.

Some racing trivia that I came across today.

Daytona 500

In the 1930s a portion of the beach was coopted as one-half of an oval shaped track for stock car racing—the beginning of an annual event which would eventually become the Daytona 500. In early days, races were ill-planned and disorderly affairs.

The train station - from here you can get anywhere! Or almost. The stops are necessary to follow the story. And to collect prizes. And to strain your nerves ...

We're starting our second phase of additions to the Etheria Grid - estimated completion date the 10th of November.

It's easier to do installs and additions with the Grid completely off line from public access, there's many reboots and what not.

We'll be back on the 10th or sooner :)

ANVIL-Island is the soft opening title for "Immersion Island"

This is a "bootstrapped" project & massive WIP that I/we have developed over the past 2 years with the help of some wonderful creative makers, that attempts to bring contemporary artists, makers, creatives & technologists together in a virtual venue to engage in fun community events that will intermingle and blend art, entertainment, technology & commerce in a fun new way for both Virtual & Real Life. This video shows only about 1/3 of the experience which includes multiple live entertainment venues, VR & RL shopping, action games & a Dome presentation documentary theater. And we are just getting started.

The Grand Opening is October 27th, 2022, from 12pm to 5pm on the Kitely Grid @ Anvil Island. AKA Immersion Island. Everyone is invited.

It is not rocket science. Go to Kitely.com and sign up for a free account and drop in and have FUN!

If you are a "NEWBIE" which is totally fine. I am happy to hold an open house "NEWBIE" day on October 26th to help you get adjusted. We can meet in the Kitely.com Welcome Center for your first lesson and help with your free avatar.

Get your Firestorm viewer from:

Here are a couple of introduction videos to help give you a headstart:

We will be available from 12 to 4 Grid time (PST)

There will be hosts and helpers available to help and you can meet the makers that have mini popup displays.

As you come in please get your free Music Fanny Pack to wear that will allow you to control the background music.

We would ask that you dress lightly and minimize the use of AOs as a courtesy to the other users and the Live Performers.

Whenever you are in the main dome performance areas it is also a good idea to reduce your draw distance.

There is much to see and do. I am hoping this will turn into the type of mini-event that can be rethemed and changed for the seasons and special occasions. We are already planning for what to do this Christmas-Holiday season.

You are all welcome to come and have fun and celebrate this wild & crazy holiday but also the wonderful platform that makes it all possible.

Come have fun, enjoy & explore Immersion Island!

Kind regards,

William Michael McHugh

P.S. Old dogs can learn new tricks and we are happy to help and share.

Our welcome has been updated so that you will land centrally on the sim. I had been using the Telehub with spawn which you disable the Direct Teleport. In doing so you are then not able to teleport within the sim. I knew this but had been so busy, lots of distractions that I set my welcome up obviously not thinking. So I have removed the Telehub so that visitors can teleport within the sim and I moved the Welcome HUB.
The good news is all of you who have visited who could not teleport within sim, you can now. Thank you Suzan Von Otter for bringing it to our attention! Thank you Robin Ridley for being patient, lol sheesh some grid owners ya know?
